Even some Yankees fans that manage to look past Hideki Matsui's double plays and Jason Giambi's traffic-cone range can't tolerate YES Network play-by-play man Michael Kay. With a blender's voice and a tape recorder's originality, Kay has done his best to drive his viewers to Suzyn Waldman's radio rantings. Here's hoping the YES bigwigs say "SEEYA!"

Wait, what day is it?

22 April, vs. BaltimoreThreatening weather at the Stadium, which can only mean one thing: Accu-Kay Weather updates on the 2's, 4's, 5's, 6's, and 8's. The game starts on time, but Kay can't stop worrying about the forecast: "They say there's a three hour window to get this game in." Fingers crossed....

Kay's terrible timing extends beyond his struggles with the day of week. After Singleton describes how the rainwater is collected and reused to water the infield on sunny days, Kay chimes in with "I guess it's good to the last drop, then."

Swing...and a miss. Strike two.

Seconds later, Kaat brings up the aforementioned* "weather window," remarking that, as the rain begins to fall, "the window is almost closed."
